Mkombozi Lyrics In English

I kneel down & do sign of the cross
The world deserts me, I pray to God
Murder, pour me a shot of Bapa
In the morning throw me some cash
So I can attend the mass

I owe rent, I owe my children school fees
My step mother defrauds my dad
And my father is away
I have not seen his support for the past one year
Indeed the world is full of frolicsomeness
That a rooster can lay eggs

My neighbour is telling me to be humble, Be humble?
When I ask you for money
You immeadiately close the door on me
Thats ridiculous (Neighbour laughs)
It's not fun I'm serious, am genius
Though I'm suffering I'm notorious

Our father did not inherit us an iron neither a fan
Nor a pen which would give us education in school
Instead he left us with lots of debts
And ashamed us in the presence of our inlaws
What sort of dad is he? Humble or a scammer?

I have impregnated a girl from my street
She is the daughter of a soldier
Her father might drive over me at any time
I got no money so I cannot go to see the doctor
And I'm haunted every corner of the street

I dawned at witch doctors
I smashed coconuts in the crossroad
I wa handed calabashes at Msata
I even carried out rituals at Mkata

Prophetic dawns
I have attended every house of worship
I have participated a lot
I almost blasphemed that I was not created by you

But there is God, our saviour
Who can wipe your tears when you are despaired
But there is God, our saviour
Who can wipe your tears when you are despaired

I have stolen, taken to jail
And my relatives never showed up
They said it did not concern them 
The thief must be burned to death

When I was released I kissed them
But they said I shrunk them
And I said ehh, water is thicker than Roma's blood
If you keep lulling a brother you will reap weeds
You will die anguished and you woun't worship God

You'll deny the warmer one, 
You will disown the cold one
There will remain the tangled one
He will also balk you

It's complicated, stress bring frustrations, be patient
The great collapse is to not have attention
It's not fair, I provode them a proposal, they don't care
And they will say you have no demand 
And they will intrigue against you

Here I have outstanding debt, there reform is overdue
I hide myself in Goba, at night I go back to Keko
I'm thinking of bewitching hoping it will change my tomorrow
Or I should say a prayer of repentance to escape the misery

Oh Jesus, perform your miracles
I see darkness and when the light comes I feel blemished
So if you are listening to me, let me aproach the altar
Just say a single word and I will dawn there

I dawned at witch doctors
I smashed coconuts in the crossroad
I wa handed calabashes at Msata
I even carried out rituals at Mkata

Prophetic dawns
I have attended every house of worship
I have participated a lot
I almost blasphemed that I was not created by you

But there is God, our saviour
Who can wipe your tears when you are despaired
But there is God, our saviour
Who can wipe your tears when you are despaired

But there is God, our saviour
When you are despaired
But there is God, our saviour
Who can wipe your tears when you are despaired
